Shamitabh | Maestro | Amitabh | Dhanush | Balki | P. C. Sreeram

[dochu]

My ranking of Shamitabh songs
1. Sha sha mi mi... what a voice and orchestration!
2. Stereophonic sannata ....(if I take the fact out that it has been rehashed).
3. Piddly ..... (Amitabh has sung very well....especially the way he pronounces raadthey etc)

Sannata will appeal to North Indians as they haven't heard the tamil version.

As usual sound recording is horrible. Unable to make out the different instruments in many places.

Dhanush sings four lines of "Naan Thedum" and "Thenpandi". May not be perfect, but did not mess up

Looking at Kamal, Sridevi and Rajini together was a sight!




Chat between Rajini, Kamal and Amitabh.



Introduction by Amitabh and mini performances by Shreya (Jaane do na...total surprise she ended with Tamil version) and at the end it has a little of video of "Stereophonic Sannaata" song

I am not sure if IR spoke anything in this celebration (apart from giving feedback about performances)



Initial crowd gathering video. I was wondering if KR had accompanied IR and he did.

and some more videos...

Trust Kamal to come up with gems like, " I knew that he would do his 1000th film and I am glad that his 786th film was with me."

One of the many tactics for ensuring his alignment to a particular community, now that Vishwaroopam 2 needs to make money?

SVN - explain pls ?! what was IR's 786th film, what is with which community and what has that got to do with VR-2 ?

Amitabh Bachchan's Live Performanve - Piddly Song…:

Amitabh on stage for piddly song. I think he lip synched

SHAMITABH Title Track Full Song LIVE | Amitabh Ba…:

Caralisa for title song and it is not lip synched and almost nicely reproduced

Looks like SJ, Lata ji all missing....

Irir123, That number has a significance. Please look up. Bollywood actors have often exploited it over and over again to appeal to a community, especially in the Subcontinent (examples: Amitabh's amulet number in Deewar and many other films like Coolie, Shah Rukh's jail inmate number in Veer Zaara! Akshay Kumar's movie titled Khiladi 786, car number plates of heroes etc.)

I guess almost is the key word here. In the first iteration of the pallavi, she could barely execute that Aaaaa vocalise. Her next attempts were better but still nowhere near the smoothness of the studio recording. Benefit of doubt: maybe she didn't get enough time to rehearse and/or there were problems with the equipment set up. Be that as it may, just going by this performance, NEPV launch performances seem to have been a much better advertisement of the album.
